LITTLE ROCK (AP) — Secretary of State Mark Martin has issued a ruling on a challenge to a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow casinos in four counties. But the ruling isn't conclusive as to whether the item can appear on the November ballot.

Martin on Wednesday ruled that the ballot title for Nancy Todd's Poker Palace is "not fair and complete." But Martin also concluded he couldn't find that the proposal would violate the constitution or other laws if approved by voters.

Martin spokesman Alex Reed says the office's legal counsel is still working on the issue and that the ultimate outcome of the challenge isn't yet known.
